That probably won't come until January by the look of things. And because tenant is now gone, I now had opportunity to visit granny flat option to make it dual rental. If GF is going ahead, should I leave it vacant until granny flat is built to ensure access?

I think I calmed down now. I'll take it as an opportunity to renew. :)

Also on the form, only landlord managing agent is signed, the tenant box is not signed. Should the tenant part be signed?

I pick up the keys and docs. However, I can't find traders quotes where the bond calculations comes from. Should I be getting that?

FT phone enquiry, but I guess a lawyer knows better than a FT operator.

No, trying to get work lined up now. Any recommendations?

No, but I had another property rented out for similar period and it didn't come back looking like that. Even my own house lived in for more than 7 years don't end up in a condition like that.

The threads seems to be around granny flat, but I don't know him.

Last time I checked, accidental damage is claimable. Yes, they smash a hole in the bedroom wall. Yes, you could say it is "minor" in comparison to horror stories covered in today tonight, and yes, it is an opportunity to renew. However it is still not right in principal to let them get...

Sorry, I don't understand you? :confused:

I am surprise by all your responses. Do you guys have any principals at all other than personal economic considerations? If every landlord thinks like that, then our tenants will only become more bolder knowing they can get away with things.

So are you saying just because the house is old, tenant can cause whatever damage they want and not liable for it?

From my solicitor friend. No, I sack them in October. It was meant to terminate mid November until I discover they neglect to do entry condition report for the transferred lease (condition report is in the name of previous lease). I was recommended to allow them to finish to let them limit the...

Can my agent refuse to put in a claim to a bond on items I requested? I ask them to put in claim for rip carpet and chip tile (chip is estimated 3x3x3cm triangular shape on edge of step) and gave them a link from fair trading as reference that my claim was within claimable "damage" definition...

I am actually more angry at my (ex) agent than the tenant at the moment. I am not sure why.

It's the principal that matters. I know I am not expecting much, probably around 10% of new value. The tenant shouldn't throw things out and the agent shouldn't neglect periodic inspection (the last was done Feb 13). After a bit of strong words did they add $35 more on the few missing items...

They were paying 445/wk, about 30/wk below average. My (ex) agent isn't doing anything more for me, even though I pointed out to them that my legal advice & fair trading suggested I can claim further on missing items. They don't seem to work on my best interest. Glad I got rid of them.

Most recent lease starts from August 2010, vacated this Monday

My tenants have vacated and condition much worst than before. Main points are: Missing light fitting Missing curtain Rip carpet Holes in wall Yellow stained wall + ceiling, likely due to tenant smoking Generally dirty and not in a similar condition I left it. ---------- My (soon to be ex)...
